I think it's fairly clear that the main point of my post was to consider not buying a $600 dacamp and the dongle dacs are good alternatives. The pot suggestion was specifically if anon wanted a volume knob, which he may not. I should have immediately mentioned the need for linear impedance IEMs with this setup, but once that was clarified there was nothing more to add to that chain.
Your suggestion to use a USB knob instead was reasonable, although that's not a complete substitute as you sacrifice device compatibility and your ability to limit the volume regardless of how software may behave. Also I don't see how it's more convenient or useful than using the keyboard to adjust volume.
My responses to you were all on topic to your replies to me, which didn't have anything to do with dacamp selection or helping the first anon either. I don't care if you think my use cases for my portable IEM setup are cope; they're useful in my life and can be for others too. Other people may actually do things differently from you for good reasons. IRL people use headphones in situations where they don't have custom EQ, pocket amplifiers, 1 ohm output impedance, or bluetooth. I'm sure a lot of people remember how convenient and useful inline volume controls on headphones actually are, and IEMS with good sensitivity + linear impedance are the best possible thing to pair with one. You can get the best signal to noise ratio from any device you may plug in, with comfortable volume and good frequency response.
I'm just here to exchange information and I fully expect this kind of excessive sputtering in audio discussions, but I hope you don't call people retards so easily in other contexts. You'll make enemies while looking a fool and without learning anything new.
